Furor grows over partisan car dealer closings

Furor grows over partisan car dealer closings

Evidence appears to be mounting that the Obama administration has systematically targeted for closing Chrysler dealers who contributed to Repubicans. What started earlier this week as mainly a rumbling on the Right side of the Blogosphere has gathered some steam today with revelations that among the dealers being shut down are a GOP congressman and closing of competitors to a dealership chain partly owned by former Clinton White House chief of staff Mack McLarty.

The basic issue raised here is this: How do we account for the fact millions of dollars were contributed to GOP candidates by Chrysler who are being closed by the government, but only one has been found so far that is being closed that contributed to the Obama campaign in 2008?

Interesting. One of our local dealers is being closed and they are fighting it. I also know that they are active in the GOP locally…..hummmmm. They have been profitable of the past 25 years and are one of the areas largest volume dealerships. They are also ranked very high in customer service always and sell both Chrysler and Jeep. The supposed criteria for closing includes profitability, location, customer satisfaction, and multiple brands. Seems they meet all the criteria for remaining a dealer unless……there is something to what you have posted…..

Are you forgetting that for the first 6 years that Bush was in office the Republicans controlled both the House and Senate? Think there was some ramrodding going on then? Mabe that is why the state of our economy is in the shape it is today!

At the rate this current administration is going, it won't take 10 years for us to be a 3rd world nation.

When productive hard-working Americans can't put food on thier table because of our socialist state, when those that have been putting money into SS for 40 years can't get any retriement money from SS, when the tide of Islamic and Hispanic immigration swells to 50 million, when our history is rewritten, then we will see violence like we have never witnessed on our streets.

Our current administration has us on the fast track to doom!

Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery. Calvin Coolidge

Bush fired a couple of US Attorneys who weren't doing the job and they happened to be democrats and the national media went nuts. There were investigations.

How should this issue be handled?

We need an independent council!!!!

what did you know and when did you know it?????

Suppose now, Just suppose, that in recent times, 9 out of 10 indepedent
Chrysler dealers contributed to the GOP. Then with the closing of some 25%, across the board, wouldn't that lean more heavily towards closing those that contributed to the right vs. those that contributed to the left?
